A sign of the times

Warning – this revised post contains statements of a depressing nature. On the plus side no animals were hurt during the making of it.

I love this sign. Or at least I did. Temporarily It warmed me. It appeared to be placed in the most incongruous of spots; a quiet country lane in the North Yorkshire Dales and giving access to a cycle lane. But sadly it’s not. Steve availed me of this misconception. It’s actually a ‘no cycling’ sign. I’m more used to seeing the type with the big slash running through the centre or the words spelt out in a massive font (NO CYCLING!!!). The colour is the give away of course, the big red trim marking the dinstinction between ‘cycle here, you’re having a laugh!’ And ‘welcome to the civilised world’. Hey-ho. If nothing else, the sign has reminded me to brush up on road sign…
